If CVCs are enabled to increase their quantity of production and there by the volume of business, their amount of loss can be reduced. If this is so, the societies can provide more days of employment to their work members, which will help them to earn more wages and thereby improve their economic and social conditions

Similarly, there has been a decline in the share
of micro sector as a percentage of Net Bank Credit (NBC) from 7.8 per cent in March 2000 to 4.9% in March 2009.

Abstract:
The report of the Steering Committee of the Kerala State
Planning Board for the preparation of the VIII five Year Plan on Industry and Hiningzslisted several factors inhibiting and promoting growth of small industrial units. Kerala's educated manpower, the native intelligence of the Keralites best suited for taking up logic—based professions and availability of a Hell—developed and broad~based physical infrastructure particularly in the transport and communications sectors, are a few of the positive factors identified. On the negative side, may be mentioned high wage rates, preference on the part of the educated for white collar Jobs, lack of entrepreneurship, paucity of essential resources for industrial use, high density of population and the distance factor which places Kerala away from the major domestic markets. In this context, it would appear that the industrial co-operative movement could possibly play a vital role in accelerating-the momentum of small industrial development of Kerala which has a Health of highly educated and skilled manpower. However, in spite of the encouragement extended by the Government, the movement does not seem to have.been picking up in the modern small scale sector. The present study is an attempt to analyse the factors that have affected the performance of the industrial co—operatives in the small scale industrial sector of Kerala.

Abstract:
The co-operative credit structure in a state
set up consists of 3 tiers — Primary Societies at the base,
District Co-operative Banks at the middle and State Cooperative
Bank at the top. But, some societies at the
primary level are governed by, in addition to Co-operative
Societies Act, the Banking Regulation Act. Thus they are
under dual control. In addition, they are working under
the direct purview of Reserve Bank of India. The scope
of this study is restricted to such Primary Societies,
District Co-operative Banks and State Co-operative Bank.
For the evaluation of the working of Co-operative
Banks, the board of directors and staff were interviewed
with the help of pre-constructed and pre-tested interview
schedules. However, the share holders and customers were
not interviewed mainly because almost all respondents
were reluctant to provide copies of an exhaustive list
of share holders and non-share holder customers, for
the purpose of maintaining secrecy. This being an
individual work, it was found physically and financially
very difficult to extend the study so as to cover the
share holders and non-share holder customers. Limitations
of time were also responsible for restricting this study.
The period of study was restricted to 1980-'81
to 1983-'84 as the data relating to earlier periods were
firstly not available from all banks and secondly the
prior data was considered out of date for the purpose of
the study.

Abstract:
The main benefit of Jeevan Saathi policy is that, it is a joint
life policy which covers the life of both husband and wife under a
single policy. And they also get double benefit if any one of them
dies during the term of the policy. The Jeevan Mitra policy is a
single life policy, the main advantage of which is that the dependents
get double benefit in case of normal death and triple benefit in case
of accidental death during the term of policy.
so both the policies have their own attractions but when compared
with the annual sales of other policies, the additional increase in
the sales of these policies are decreasing. It is a fact finding
study concerned with market performance of these two policies by conducting
a survey among the Jeevan Saathi and Jeevan Mitra policy
holders, and a thorough analysis of the various information or data
collected from them. This study is an attempt to present an integrated
picture of the main features of the policy holders who have
bought these policies, the major factors responsible for making them
purchase these policies, the various difficulties faced by them at present and further modification needed in the plans of these policies
according to the opinion of policy holders. For increasing accuracy
of the conclusions, information is also collected from Agents and
Development Officers by using interview schedule.
The main purpose of this study is to draw attention of LIC to
introduce new plans of policies taking into consideration the drawbacks
or defects of the existing policies and present needs of policy
holders. It will also help to make new plans in order to suit the
needs of more people who want to buy life insurance policies
